Ok thanks for the great info, after the break in is over I will get some vids posted, I ordered a 34mm carb and new manifold boot, I have had these for weeks now, but am unsure if to go down that route or not, I am led to believe that with a well jetted stock carb it will have more low down...

Thanks again blaster, I will get the leak test done and jett as you say, I have had it idling at the present specs, and all good just didn't dare run it just in case, I ordered main jets up to 350, when you say heat cycles to run it in, I was told not to do that as I wouldn't get a good ring...

Hi folks, I have just had a full engine rebuild, top end is a vito's 240 kit, the piston is now a 73mm, 0.50 oversize I think, I am running a Paul turner exhaust, pyramid reeds, port work, oil feed blocked off, tors removed. The reason for the rebuild was it was running all these mods on std...

Thanks, I will do some research

Hi, Would anybody know how much gas/pressure should be in the front & rear above shocks? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum gaylord

Very good, many thanks

Hi, just having my engine fully rebuilt, what is the best way to run it in ??

the piston is a std 72mm forged vito's, what size do i need now? would it be the 72.020 & a rebore to match that????????

well it had been run on the 25 pilot so i suppose it would have warmed up way to quick, also the metal head gasket had gone a funny green colour in one place?

it rains an uwful lot were i am, so best not to go down that route, lol.

Many thanks, this is turning out to be one expensive blaster

Blaaster do you think a stock needle in the forth notch would be ok with my mods??

Well I suspect the crank has also suffered from heat damage as there is a little oil coming from behind the flywheel, I think the crank has got hot and distorted the seals, so full rebuild = peace of mind, lol.

Right folks, got in from work and set about the motor, Removed the fly wheel cover & spark plug, at tdc there was a rattle, So pulled the head and nothing gone inside the barrel or head, However my worst fears were confirmed, really sloppy piston in the barrel, scorch marks to the piston &...

Yes that's the easiest option, however it will get mucked up real quick?

Would it not run badly with piston damage? It starts first kick, idles perfectly, and goes like stink?

I will check all the above thanks, could it be piston slap or crank, reason I ask is the last owner had been running it with the carb leaking air badly, I pulled the exhaust off and looked at piston with torch up the exhaust port, there is no scoring or obvious damage

This is not my blaster, however my engine is sounding exactly the same, Can anybody tell me what's wrong Yamaha Blaster Engine Knock - YouTube
